vaderios said:how it started:
Blue for good guys and red for bad guys.
Luke insert the green one.
We have dark forces 2 that shows the bad guys have rainbow sabers not only red.
then as an oficial cannon lucas make windu with purple.
then KOTOR defines the colors to classes and shit.
LESS IS MORE RIGHT? we never see a dialogue like: hey dude nice yellow saber you have! are you a sentinel?
EU details are useless and they work perfectly to comics and novels.
Im not saying not having more colors to the edits. After there is free will :) but i like to think it like its star wars. Real star wars. not with many parameters or knights, masters, sentinels, neos and smiths.

KOTOR takes place 4000 years before the prequels, so a class/saber system could have been in affect and long abandoned by the time events we see in film roll around.
I say (as I have said bfore becuase Im obsessive that way) leave the lightsabers alone. Mace is a special circumstance with his purple saber so you dont need to take his into account. (Please not I said Mace and not Samuel Jackson) I think everyone with blue lightsabers would look silly and boring after a while. Why should Luke have the only green saber? Becuase he is so much better than everyone else or something? Hardly.
edit: Yeah...seeing them in full (ahem) color, the white sabers are a bad idea.
